My heart hammered a joyful rhythm against my ribs as I saw the email: "Please train your replacement." Finally! After months of feeling stuck, of monotony, here was my escape route, and I practically vibrated with anticipation.

The morning I was scheduled to train Ms. Chen, I woke up before my alarm, a smile already blooming. I put on my best power suit, choosing the crimson one, feeling its vibrant colour mirror my inner state.

During the training, I found myself practically levitating with each successful explanation. I walked her through the CRM, the spreadsheets, the client communication protocols, all with an eagerness I hadn't felt in years. I was in top form, and my mind was racing.
